Buck Skate Trucks 180mm (Set of 2)

I have these trucks on my 41 in' drop-thru longboard and they work AWESOME. I needed trucks that would be able to go around 90° turns on the sidewalk so I originally bought the Gullwing Sidewinder trucks and they didn't help at all. Although it turned very easily, I was too low to the ground and it wasn't stable at all. I returned the $50 trucks in a heartbeat and bought these Buck Trucks which were less than half the price and fell in love with them. The reverse kingpin design allowed me to turn sharply and carve easily and I still felt extremely stable. I have had these trucks for about 2 weeks and have used them about 9 times and I still feel the same about them. I would recommend these to anybody who wants trucks that are very turny (you can adjust how turny you want them by tightening or loosening the kingpin) but are still stable enough to ride through bumpy and uneven streets and over storm drain lids like they aren't nothing! There isn't one thing I don't like about them and strongly recommend them to anybody who owns a longboard!

After searching for literally hours I stumbled upon these Buck Trucks. After never hearing about them and knowing I was looking for something in the $30 range (mostly looking for Paris trucks) I decided to give these trucks a try. To my surprise they work super nicely, granted I haven't fully worked out the bushing and everything. They're pretty great for carving down hills and making tight turns, there may be other better brands out there but you're very likely going to be spending a great deal more. If you can get these trucks pick a pair up, you really won't be dissapointed. There's very little about these trucks floating around on the internet right now so I thought I might shed some light on the pros and cons.Pros:~Ride a lot like paris trucks~Great for downhill as they sit kind of low~look great~Made in the USA~VERY fairly priced for what you get (2 trucks for $30 that are these good is a REALLY REALLY good buy)Cons:~Hard to break in~Some people may not like the looks~Came super super loose, but that's an easy fix~no bolts with them(Also not a big deal unless you're expecting them to)Over all the pros far out weight the cons, if you stumbled upon these trucks like I did pick them out and give them a try!

My goodness, where to start. . . . OK in the picture, you'll see the pivots are not painted. Mine came painted AND had really bad casting lines which tore up the pivot cup in one 5 minute ride. So, I sanded down the pivot and replaced the cup. The facing on the hanger was terrible and not flush at all. Again, the terrible cast lines ran all the way down the hanger to the axel, meaning the bearings would not sit flush. So, had to reface the hangers with a block of wood, a drill and some sandpaper. The bushings that came with these were a joke and felt like hard PVC or something.So, in trying to save $10 vs the cost of a set of Paris or Caliber or Bear or Randall. . . . . I ended up with a set of trucks that even after all the sanding, facing and replacing the bushings, still does not feel right.The only thing I still use from these trucks are the sleeved flat washers they came with. Those were nice. . . . .

Great trucks if your trying not to spend too much. I switched out the bushings, for preferential reasons. The bushings it comes with are fine, I just prefer cones over barrels.

Very light and helps my board glide faster

They are loud as all get out but they are a great truck to have plenty of turn verry stable and over all pretty durable

Great deal, good product

Just opened it. Looks beautiful!!! Now, I know I can't quite give a review if I haven't gave the product a good twist around. But I've seen pro reviews of them. They should give good results downhilling, carving, etc. These are 50 degrees, so give them a good tighten if you want to downhill.Here's a con. I have slight rust on the axle pins and the first washer bit. There's a couple of scratches on the black paint. Bushings are slightly dirty If you don't like new looking trucks, be wary. I don't really care, they'll get ruined anyways.Free sticker with the trucks if that matters. Careful if you have uptight parents, the box comes with a sticker of a half naked woman. The trucks look beastly even though there's a couple of scratches. I feel like these will do well. They FEEL like they'll do well. I will update when I ride themUpdate: As I thought, these are downhill based, and very much so. There's a restriction to the turn, so there's a limit to how far these trucks will turn, and for me, it's where I don't even exert full weight. That's a con for me. Another con is that it's not great for cruising. With the restriction, it'll be hard to make sidewalk curves. Last cons : Hard to steer under lower speeds. It's incredibly slow to steer, low response time.Pros:Very stable downhill.Awesome Carving when downhilling at 30 mph, really smooth and controllable.Meh for sliding, but gets the job done.All in all, still 4 stars, these trucks are great for downhill. This review was done with the stock bushings, so maybe they'll improve with custom bushings. But with the stock bushings... keep this for downhill only
